    The story of Robinson Crusoe is known all over the world. The story is about the life of a real person. His name was Alexander Selkirk.

    Selkirk was born in 1676 in Scotland. His father made shoes and clothes, but Alexander didn't want to work in his father's shop. He wanted to sail a ship on the sea.

    When Selkirk was 28 years old, he was sailing on the Pacific Ocean. The ship was in a bad state. Selkirk was worried. "This ship is not safe!" he thought. He told the captain that he wanted to get off. The captain didn't like Selkirk, so he agreed. The ship took Selkirk to a small island.

    Selkirk took a few things from the ship: a gun, an axe, and a few clothes. Then the ship left, and Selkirk was alone. There were no people or houses on the island. He was more than 600 kilometres from the nearest country, Chile.

    He found a cave near the beach and this became his home for the first few months. In the day time, he had to leave the cave and find some food. He usually ate fish and other small sea animals. At night, he heard strange noises from the trees. He thought that there were wild animals on the island that could hurt him. He was afraid and didn't want to leave for the beach. He stayed in his cave. He was very lonely.

    One day, when he woke up，he saw hundreds of sea lions on the beach. He couldn't get to the sea, so he couldn't catch any fish. He had to look for food on another part of the island. He was still afraid of the wild animals, but he was hungry! He had to go out in order not to be hungry.

    A crow, having stolen a piece of cheese, held it firmly in her mouth and stood in a tree. A fox, who was very hungry, took the following ways to get the cheese for himself.

    "How handsome is the crow!" he said. "How beautiful is her shape and how fair her feather! Oh, if her voice were only equal to her beauty, she might rightly be called the queen of birds!"

    This he said in a soft voice. The crow, anxious to show that her voice was equal to her other attractions, made a loud caw, and dropped the cheese.

    The fox caught it as it fell. "My good crow," said he," your voice is all right, but your brain is not good."

"Everybody， it' s time for our group project. Let's get to work!" says Ms. White. 

Amy is the leader of one group. She is not 1 forward to working with her group because a boy named Ray is always absent from the group meetings. He doesn^' t follow the rules ，and he2 to do any work. This slows the whole group down. 

Amy considers telling Ms. White about these problems， but she doesn't want to get Ray in trouble. 3 ， she decides to talk to him and find out what the4 is. She says，"Everyone is working hard on our project. But so far， you haven't done anything. Is there something wrong？"

Ray thinks5 for a few seconds， and finally says， "It' s not that I don't want to be in the 6 . Sometimes， I don' t really understand the things we' re learning. I know it' s not fair， but I don't want to say something stupid， so I do7 . 

Now Amy understands. Ray isn't 8 he just needs help!"From now on， she says，"I will do my best to help you feel more confident （自信的）. Then you can do your share， and it will be 9 for everyone. "Thank you! I'll try hard to do my part. " says Ray. 

Amy feels happy. She realizes that10 about problems is better than keeping them as secrets. 

 Zhou Zhaoqian comes from China. After winning the Women's Wheelchair(轮椅) Race 1,500m-T54 at the 4th Asian Para Games in Hangzhou, she said it was her best birthday present.

 Zhou was born in Hebei Province in 1997. She lived a happy life with her family. But she lost her right leg because of a car accident at the age of 5. It made her feel sad. She didn't want to leave her bedroom or meet others for a long time. However, her family always gave her aid. They taught her to use the wheelchair and asked her to make new friends. Finally, Zhou became active. She didn't give up her study. She even went to college to study computer skills.

 In 2012, Zhou began to work as a sportswoman. However, after four years of hard training, she failed to take part in the 2016 Rio Paralympic Games. Later, she changed her skills and trained even harder. She successfully returned to the top ranks(排位) in China in 2017. From then on, Zhou started to do well in almost all competitions.

 Zhou already had a chance to take part in the Paris Paralympic Games. "I improve my skills by taking part in more competitions," she said. "In this way, I can do better and better."
